Bhakti Fest Sept 12-17 Joshua Tree CA

September 12 - September 17

Bhakti Fest is the premier yoga, sacred music, and personal growth festival in the United States. Since 2009, for six days each September, we have featured the best Yoga Teachers, Kirtan Musicians, and Workshop Leaders in the world. Jeffrey ARMSTRONG will be presenting 2 talks & a panel presentation sponsored by Banyan Botanicals.

Friday 3 pm: The 3 Paths of Yoga

According to the Vedas, there are 3 natural paths of Yoga: Jnana, Bhakti and Karma, that correspond to the 3 aspects of human consciousness: thinking, feeling and willing, which are focused in the head, heart and gut centers of the body. Thus, according to our past karmas and habits, we filter and usually limit our life experience to only one of these centers. In this class you will learn yogic techniques that will enable you to activate and eventually master all 3 life centers.

Sunday 11:00 The Great Truth Beyond Emptiness and Oneness

Achieving states of Emptiness and Oneness are the preliminary steps that help us to reclaim our true transcendental Brahman nature. In this class you will learn how Bhakti Yoga heals the wounds and scars of material life by generating greater emotions of love and beauty that give us a direct experience of the highest states love that restores our true individuality and leads us to immortal bliss. Oneness is the platform; love is the goal.

Join three master teachers for this enlightening panel conversation: You are on the planet for a purpose. Discover your dharma through jyotish, and learn how to optimize your existence with spiritual practice, and a healthy yogic lifestyle including Ayurveda.

*Attendees will be entered to win a $100 gift certificate for Ayurvedic herbs & products from Banyan Botanicals
